OUR Services
Lights, Camera, Action! Your creative journey starts here!
At ZA Media, we offer a wide range of production services to bring your creative vision to life. Explore our diverse services below to find the perfect solution for your production needs.
Movie Production
We can take care of your movie production needs, right from the development stage where we flesh out your story idea in a writer’s room, and then carry out the screenplay writing process. We can handle your entire pre-production stage, which includes budgeting, the writing of the movie's shooting script, and location recce. Our team of creatives will handle your principal photography. After the production stage, we take care of the post-production stage with the expertise of our editors, sound designers and animators, depending on the needs of your movie
Audio Production
We create various audio productions, including radio dramas, radio spots and podcasts. For radio productions, we carry out thorough research to come up with smart scripts at the pre-production stage, either for community development purposes, for purely entertainment purposes or a good mixture of both. Our seasoned radio producers work with voice actors and sound designers in the production and post-production stages. The final production is edited, music scores recorded and added, and the radio production polished, and made ready for broadcast on various platforms.
TV Series Production
Whether you have a premise that you would like us to develop into a TV series, or you want us to come up with one, you can rely on us to create the best version of any TV series idea for you. We understand that TV series production requires unique needs different from those of movie productions. From script to screen, we will craft each episode with the right number of acts, each act ending at the right time for a TV advert to come in, and each episode ending with the most gripping cliffhangers that leave the audience eager to see the next episode.
Documentary Production
We closely examine your documentary needs and determine the unique approach required for your documentary production. We treat documentary films and series production like investigative journalism, carrying out exhaustive research with a very open mind. We source materials from all available sources, leaving no stones unturned. Knowing that documentary film and series production is unpredictable, we plan thoroughly but leave room for surprises. At the end of the day, we end up with a final cut that is the best version of your documentary story, as close to a movie as possible.
TV Talk Show Production
TV Talk Shows are capable of altering people's perceptions and shaping society. We will research your potential and existing TV Talk show audience. Based on your required demographic we will brainstorm on TV Talk Show themes that are hard to exhaust, whether for a daily or weekly show. With the most appropriate TV host or hosts selected, our dedicated team will determine the appropriate segment running time and presentation style, list the right questions for guests, design and light aesthetic and functional sets, and shoot and edit the most engaging TV Talk Show possible.
Animation Production
With animation, our creativity is unlimited, making it possible to pass across even the wildest and the most complex ideas and information, across various ages and races, either for entertainment, education or both. We can handle your 2D or 3D animation needs for films, web or TV series, e-learning, or advertisements. You can work with our entire animation team or choose from those specialized in specific animation fields, such as Storyboard artists, Character and prop designers, Background artists, Layout designers, Modelers, Riggers, Inbetweeners, Clean-up artists, Art directors and Directors.
Event Coverage
Creating happy memories and reminiscing on them can strengthen our relationships, and our well-being and give us an increased sense of contentment. With professional video and still photography coverage, we will document all of your precious events such as weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, alumni reunions, religious events, conferences, school programs and many more. Depending on your unique needs and budget, we can record your event with a single camera or multiple cameras, with or without documentary-style coverage and interviews. The final output of your video will be tightly or loosely edited depending on your requirement while that of your still photography will be packaged in a digital and/or physical photo album depending on your choice and budget. No matter the location of your event we can arrange a production crew for you from our wide network of professional filmmakers across the country.
E-Learning Audio-Visuals Production
We know that e-learning is self-paced, guarantees flexibility and is less stressful for learners if well-created. This is why we employ the most effective tools to create e-learning audio-visuals. Depending on your unique e-learning audio-visual need, we use tools such as animation, sound effects, motion graphics, and music, in combination with live-action tutors to deliver well-researched educational content and instructional videos. We can produce engaging e-learning videos for professional bodies, corporate bodies, staff training, tertiary, secondary and primary institutions as well as early years curricula.
Producing
Being responsible for overseeing all aspects of the production, the producer is the heart of the production. Our razor-sharp producers will micromanage your film, TV, or radio production to ensure prompt completion and on budget. Our producers will assemble the right talent and crew to balance your project's creative ambitions and practical considerations. Working closely with directors, writers and other key stakeholders, our producers will ensure that your story is brought to life authentically and with artistic integrity.
Scriptwriting
As the foundation of many productions, the script is arguably the single most important aspect of most productions. Do you have a story idea you want developed into a script? We carry out brainstorming sessions in writer’s rooms to develop exceptional scripts such as screenplays for movies, TV series and web series, scripts for documentaries, TV talk shows, radio dramas and radio spots. We create compelling plots, multi-dimensional and well-rounded characters, and intruding dialogues that live on in the audiences’ memories. We can also re-write, polish or proofread your existing scripts to achieve their best possible versions.
Storyboarding
Having a graphic representation of your project as a roadmap of the project is crucial to share your vision with your team and stakeholders right from the pre-production stage. Our highly creative Storyboard artists will create detailed shot-by-shot storyboards for your project to guide your entire creative team, saving you time.
Set Designing
The world in which your production is set is one of the most important aspects of your production. Our set designers will give you the perfect balance between aesthetically pleasing set designs and practical set designs that accurately create the desired mood according to your story
Cinematography
Visually telling stories with cameras and lights, our creative cinematographers can work closely with your team on your film or TV productions from pre-production to post-production. Our cinematographers will determine the most suitable visual style for your productions, direct camera operators to achieve the most appropriate camera movements, angles and exposures, and achieve the desired colour grading and colour palette for your projects.
Sound Design
Creative use of sound design in your production can help create a distinguished world for your story. Whether you’re working on film, TV or radio production, we can take care of your sound design needs. Our sound designers will oversee the entire creative recording, mixing, and editing of dialogue, narrations, Foley sounds, audio effects and music for your production.
Video Editing
As the last stage of video production, video editing is the last chance to improve the quality of your production. We understand the importance of pacing for storytelling in media like film, TV, ads, music videos, and social media. Our video editors are skilled in weaving together raw footage, fine-tuning transitions, and transforming different elements into a cohesive and captivating visual narrative. They collaborate with directors and producers to bring your vision to life.
Light Design
Light is the lifeline of your videos. We can handle the light designing of your films, TV series, TV shows, documentaries, commercials, e-learning videos and other videos. Our light designing team will not only use light to beautify your videos but also use light to tell your stories by creating the desired mood and emotions. From simple three-point lighting to complex lighting setups using various mood-lighting and practical-lighting techniques, filling and shaping with lights. We do these for location shoots, studio shoots and any other indoor and outdoor shoots.
